These
dollars are a Mrs. K original!! I feel that it is extremely
important for students to try their best in all that
they do and this is my way of rewarding their efforts. Children
receive a Kaminski Dollar on quizzes and tests only. In an
effort to improve, students should work extra hard by doing
one or more of the following:
|
Getting
a grade that is better than their last in that subject
area
|
Studying
during free time
|
|
Showing
an effort during class discussion and written response
|
Students
are assured that they do not have to get an "A"
to get a dollar. This reward is for those who try hard. A
student who is putting in the effort may get a "C"
and still get a Kaminski Dollar.
Every
2 weeks, on a Friday, I open the Kaminski Store (toys,
erasers, pencils, notepads, silly putty...etc) and it is
here that students can spend their dollars, or choose to
save them in the bank. The bank is a folder where the students
keep the dollars they receive. When the store is open, the
class banker gives them their money and they can choose
to spend it however they wish.
